Good Samaritan Fund
The LSU Vet Med Good Samaritan Fund provides emergency services, critical care, testing,
and ICU for homeless animals. Most of us have had the difficult experience of coming
upon a stray animal that is injured or sick. Each year, over 300 such animals needing
emergency treatment are brought to the LSU School of Veterinary Medicine’s 24-hour
emergency facility by Good Samaritans who care deeply for animals in need. The Good
Samaritan Fund helps offset the costs incurred caring for these animals.
